stock bolt

Hi guys, so today I was trying to change my chain and sprockets, everything was going smooth until i started to remove the front one and the bolt that holds the nut got stock. I kept trying, now is striped. I used some WD40 and a bolt remover with a drill. It does not move an inch. I dont know what to do. Please any advice, I'm going crazy, I'm in Japan so there is no such thing as take it to someone. Thanks in advance

Re: stock bolt

The easiest way to get the front assmbly off is to have someone hold the rear brake while chain is still hooked up with it in N.

Anyways I would reccomend just putting the chain back on just to hold it for. Doesn't have to be pressed together just get it together somehow.

Then there's a few methods of attack. I don't think there's enough shoulder to get the craftsman exractor tool on there. So you can take a hacksaw and cut a straight slot for a flat blade screwdriver. I've never had luck with that on something real tight but its worth a shot.

Or take an allen key and weld or epoxy it in the bolt. Any way your gonna thrash that bolt. And need a new one. Shouldn't be too much.

Just my two cents maybe someone will have some better ideas than me.Posted via Mobile Device

Hey mattstang, thanks for the input, I end up heating it with a torch, the head snaped off but i took the rest with a drill bit. Sorry it took a min but I just got back from TDY yestarday, so when you posted your idea i was allready gone. Thanks anyways
